“Give to Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people, that I may discern between good and evil.”

“Because you have asked this thing, and have not asked long life for yourself, nor have asked riches for yourself, nor have asked the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern justice, behold, I have done according to your words;

I have given you a wise and understanding heart, so that there has not been anyone like you before you, nor shall any like you arise after you.

And I have also given you what you have not asked: both riches and honor, so that there shall not be anyone like you among the kings all your days.”

By Solomon’s example we learn that God is pleased by a humble request for wisdom and will grant it in abundance. This is great news! As women wanting to be wives of noble character, we have a role to fill that sometimes feels beyond our ability. And of course, it really is if we rely on our power alone. Thankfully we can lean humbly into the Lord, and pray to receive wisdom enough to bring glory to His name as we step into the fullness of His plans and purpose for our lives.
